The Higher Council for Environment And Natural Resources announces its solidarity with the youth (Ed Elfrsan) to protect forests
A local youth sit-in, counting the environmental knights with the aim of stopping illegal logging, is considered an effective community action in order to preserve natural resources and represents a positive indicator of the extent to which local communities are aware of the economic, social and environmental value of natural resources. And local communities, civil society organizations and the private sector.
The Kad al-Fursan area, which is called the refined Baggara basin, which consists of sandy edges intertwined with clay basins and alluvial soils, is characterized by a geological diversity represented by the Nubian sandy compound rock sediments, and it is characterized by a diversity of vegetation represented by thorny open savanna plants, including important species such as acacia Or hashab, cutter, al-Out, and Haraz, dense trees and grasses in the banks of valleys and seasonal streams, and the region is also characterized by an abundance of water resources, which are represented in the creeks and small streams descending from the Jebel Marra plateau, including Wadi Ibra, its basin is about 30 thousand km and it has 8 tributaries, the most prominent of which is Wadi Al-Jundi, Kaya Valley, Indus Valley, and Bailil Valley, all this ecological diversity serves a diverse and plural social system, and it is terrible for such an environmental degradation to occur to that region.
The voices of local communities in Sudan have been raising the issue of concern for the environment and natural resources for decades … How not and natural resources are the real capital for these communities in their livelihoods. The unfair logging, which has caused desertification, land degradation, and a change in the ecosystem in general, must have a joint action between the Supreme Council for the Environment and Natural Resources and local communities in activating laws and providing energy and building alternatives for the sake of sustainable natural resources and peace
In the Higher Council for the Environment and Natural Resources, we affirm that the land and the biosphere are the common elements between human beings, wherever they are found and how they settled, not only among the inhabitants of the same nation, but also between states and peoples of the world … Attention to these elements has become a basic criterion for joint cooperation in various fields at all local, national, regional and international levels, with all approved and known cooperation mechanisms such as partnerships, initiatives, coordination mechanisms, and bilateral, regional and international cooperation.
The solidarity of the Higher Council for Environment and Natural Resources with the sit-in of the youth of counting the Knights to stop the illegal cutting of trees is the solidarity of the first environmental institution in Sudan with local communities in the count of the Knights, and it is the methodology by which the Council works with local communities in order to sustain natural resources and bring peace. We are striving to restore the vegetation cover that has been lost throughout the country by a limited number of people and which has been affected by the vast majority of the inhabitants of different regions.
